11 April, 2011
After a long and dramatic series of rumors, and only two days before Nokia's event in London, a promotional video of Nokia X7 for Three UK surfaced in YouTube, and brought a great deal of excitement to us...

chocowii, 11 Apr 2011As long I can call and text with those kind of phones I'm o... moreI agree!
I don't need the fastest, the best or the most expensive mobile phone in the land.
All I need is just a simple one. Having the best mobile in the world doesn't change who you are!

    i'm not too excited about this... I'm still waiting for news about pr3.0. That would be a dramatic improvement of the OS

      Anonymous, 11 Apr 2011so you're saying Nokia copying Apple iOS UI is sexy? Though... moreWhat you mentioned is the ONLY similarity with iOS actually.. lol
      iOS doesn't have a widgets that updates you with new information. All you get is screen full of apps... Completely different from iOS.
      iOS app arrangement has been around for at least a decade before iPhone was first manufactured. ANY OTHER OS's HAVE BEEN USING THE CHECKED ARRANGEMENT OF APPS. We don't say iOS copied it because we just accept the fact that it's the easiest way to arrange them for now. Apple fanboys saying that other OS's copy iOS just shows how stupid they are...

      iOS got its popularity through minimalistic design. It was good when all other phones lagged because it tried to achieve beyond the basics, but now Apple stayed basic too long. The other OS's caught up to iOS's smoothness and they have much more features. There's no features in iPhone that exceeds ones from other OS's now. iOS is still stuck with same limitations they had since day 1.

      New UI looks pretty decent, I should take back what I said about how Symbian is a dead OS. Though, I think it would be just good for keeping the existing customers around, not win some customers over Android.

          Cant wait to see if Symbian^3 can match up to Android and Windows Phone 7 OS ;)
          Hope Nokia comes good this time around or i fear the worst for the Co. in smart phone segment.

            As long I can call and text with those kind of phones I'm okay with that. I don't need a flashy UI like Android's.

                  Nokia should not forget about the N97 and the S60v5 devices. They should improve something in our device somehow. At least the browser lol

                          Those if you saying nokia had copied ios are nuts. For his sale this is the standard nokia symbian user interface. The one symbian devices have been using since inception. The only thing changed us the icons. If this looks similar to ios then apple if the copycat.

                          And to gsmarena, this is not the much anticipated ui.this is pr 2.0. the ui overhaul would come with pr3.0

                            i wonder if they on copying android and i phone,i mean see,it has got almost same type of widgets and the classic ios menu layout.anyways,the phone is very good,but unfortunatly,late to the party as there are other better 8 megapixel snappers out there with better features.so good luck X7!

                              I love the X7 design.

                              If the browser is finally decent I have no problem choosing S3 over iOS and Android.

                                        I don't understand why Nokia would try to hype this new symbian and waste resources only for it to act like an early flavor of android.

                                        They make great hardware, but they're wasted on crappy outdated OS trying to play catch up
